Momma says ifin yall want it at little wall we could bring the motorhome on a friday and the weekend. Yall decide, Ifin saylorville, we'd have ta bring her bug car, ooooiiiee the pain of it all! Just let us know what works.

 

[walking dude]

tip, i think we was going to shoot for a overniter, but i suspect some won't be able to do one of those.........

 

[earache_my_eye]

Crap....that means I'll have to buy/borrow a tent......ain't no way I'm missin' out on a night of beer around a campfire with y'all........heh

 

[desertlites]

Crap....that means I'll have to buy/borrow a tent------ever sleep under the stars? and ya those new domes are like the price of a 18 pack.

 

[earache_my_eye]

Under the stars around here means waking up to a soggy sleeping bag.....we have that new fangled thing around here called "humidity".....which becomes "dew" overnight .......maybe you've heard of it??.......

 

[travcoman45]

Yall just don't pick the weekend of July 19th cause I gotta cook at the Loyal Order of Moose BBQ.

 

[smokebuzz]

we'er gonna talk this weekend and tour saylorville and come up with some options to tose around

 

[earache_my_eye]

July 19th it is!!...........

just kidding....

 

[walking dude]

Okay.......buzz and i went and checked on campsites, and found a perfect site.........Cherry Glen camgrounds, at Saylorville. East side. Saylorville is just north of Des Moines, little west of I-35, and a little north of I-80

But we need firm commentments, and a small 20 deposit, to assure buzz doesn't get hosed on using his credit card to reserve campsites.

So the deal is, one RV and one tent, or 2 tents per site. Sites are 18.00 nite, so if you are in a shared site, will cost you only 9.00 a nite. Full electric at each site. With a showers and bathrooms a couple steps away.

We need to get on this quick folks. Cause with some campsites being flooded, they are moving to the unflooded ones, and even if the water goes down, no guarantee they will be oped that weekend.

Oh, i guess i better mention the weekend. The weekend of July 25, 26 and 27th. This is Friday, Sat. and Sunday. Buzz and i will probably be there thursday nite.

Tip has said he will be there Friday noon. Eric, sat, maybe friday. I need to know who else is considering going.

As a added bonus, there MAY be a magazine Chef/camer crew, to compete with us backyard boys. Thats not confirmed yet, but real close.
Our get together will be in a new Startup Magizine, called,Inspired about Des Moines. Any one who would like a copy of the premier issue, we would be happy to send one their way.

SO YOU IOWA BOYS, and even eastern neb./minni-soda guys and gals, lets party up.

Also, if you just want to come saturday, and hang out, more than welcome. There is a gazebo/shelter there, we hope to commandeer. If not, plenty of space where we HOPE to get these sites.

BUT WE NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY TO RESERVE FOLKS. so please, don't wait, cause even tho, its over a month away, these sites won't last long.
There are about 6 sites open that are next to each other, we hope to get. Come heck or high water, buzz and i will be doing this. Like I said, has confirmed, so has Eric.

ANY OTHERS?

We will discuss menus and other stuff as the date gets closer.

IF THIS CHEF DOES COME, this article will be a smf related article, so lets show this wannabe smoker (heheh j/king), that smf and iowa backyard smokers can kick his ***.

reply here, or email via my profile.
